Style Crush: Cozy, vintage, fusion vibes

November 13, 2022

Does your activity define your algorithm or does the algorithm encourage your activity? Whatever it is, Instep’s Insta has a very clear theme these days: Sleepy Girl Winter.

Style Crush: Cozy, vintage, fusion vibes

If you find it super sus that somehow the thought that was just formulating in your mind suddenly shows up as an ad on one of your Meta platforms, you’re not alone. But if our phones are indeed siphoning info from our actual brains, and translating that data into the choices being presented to us online, then we must say, the Instep gang is all about the coziness, and hella sleepy.

That said, we are not begrudging the super pieces that show up on our feeds, interesting enough to make us click through to the main shop page, allowing us to find more things that we vibe with, style-wise.

Winterwear from Lama Retail

Vintage sweater

There are some very cool sweaters and cardis in pastels and neutrals here too, but everything about this cropped sweater is warm, fuzzy, smells like caffeine and toffee, and makes us want to curl up in the sun and dream the sweetest dreams.

Fuzzy jacket

So to further inform this jacket, Lama has a strong preference for this shade of green, and we have to admit it looks really cool too. Don’t you just want to be walking down a windy road, your hair blowing in your eyes, wrapping this jacket cozily around yourself?

Brogues from Dazzle By Sarah

If you kind of take a bird’s eye view on all the items pictured here, you’ll see a definite vintage-y aesthetic, with fabrics that look warm and soft, and patterns that add warmth to a design. Not surprised at all that these cute khussa brogues keep popping up on our feed.

Loafers by Bustangi

A western take on the khussa again – we wouldn’t say no to a pair of these in late fall/ early winter. Bustangi also has velvet khussas in gorgeous bright tones and neutrals that have the perfect ballet flat shape, without being pumps.
